Episode Synopsis

Join us for a thought-provoking journey as we delve into the profound question of why evil exists if God is both all-powerful and wholly good. Using a personal childhood story and biblical parables, this video explores the concept of free will and the cosmic conflict between good and evil. Learn how an enemy, identified as the devil, sows seeds of evil in a world created good, and why God allows this evil to coexist temporarily with good.
